flavor flav

any chance to source a metal spacer ring from ofrei? and also i agree on the crystal. the old mineral looks better and more "clear" than the newer sapphires. i have an engraved rotor for my old swiss 212 but can't find a bearing for it

nice gesture... my vote is for two-tone's avatar!

just shot these for you!

there was a member here selling that same watch also on timezone for way less than 1300. i think was around 800.

i apologize because you are trying to stay cheap for this one but don't do it. the best way to go is expensive but worth every penny! a brown gator deployment strap from thewatchboys.com on a rep pam deployment looks amazing on this one! makes the watch look like a $10,000 gen. worth it trust me. worth the money as you will convince yourself it's a gen watch with this quality strap!

i had a full gold sub and realized after the first time i wore it how much it screams fake....then i realized gold and tool watches don't mix except TT. sold right away.

replica center shows some italian reps awesome shots randy! and neil.......your photoshop work is very impressive!

the crown is spring loaded and the not designed too well. mine does the same. pull it out a bit after you unscrew it and it will work.

why does this not surprise me? andrew you are a good sport. i guess you are getting free advertising here

bazz....i love that on the PO strap! cool watch. where did you get that for $15?

i agree 100% roman. CZ will scream fake.

(Does the crown spin around & vomit pea-soup?) not yet! only thing i can think of is there is alot of friction somewhere causing it to run really slow. it's running at about 2 beats per second. just sitting in the movement holder. i'm sure it keeps great time. probably at this rate you can use the seconds hand as the minute hand.

i recieved an asian unitas PAM that only runs when upside down....weird but not that unusual. i bought the watch planning to install the new genuine 6497 i have on my bench. now i have had this old asian 6497 out of the watch sitting in a movement holder upside down for a month and a half. gave it a full wind before i put it in there. the scary part....it's still running! i think it's haunted! last asian 6497 i had runs about 28 hours power reserve not 40 days!!! how in the world is this possible??? it runs like a quartz! but only upside down! just in time for holloween i guess.......

you can use a small ball bearingif you don't find the right part. check ofrie they have omega click spring parts that also will fit.

i figured i would hold off buying one of these because i wanted to see if problems arise on this movement. this confirmed that i'll pass on this one.

this is absolutely unacceptable....i think of all the members here as my friends and would treat them as if they were my family. every watch i have ever sold gets shipped ASAP in condition as described as if it were going to my family. i know what it's like being exited and waiting for a new watch so i make sure to comunicate and ship fastest methods possible. no way can this be excused as this is just plain wrong and exactly not what we anyone wants from this forum. if a member pulls a move like this, they should be banned from trading here. period. this watch needs ALOT of work on the case and doesn't even run to boot! i've shipped hundreds of watches to members here and at TRC and had one asian patek rep that was running great when i shipped it but not running DOA when it arrived to the buyer. he contacted me and let me know it's not running so without question i shipped him another watch the next day priority 2 day mail. and a much better more expensive one at that... my IWC jones. i told him to also keep the patek. i just recently had a buyer not happy with the price he paid for a strap i shipped him so i refunded him 100% including my shipping and told him to keep the strap. this is how i feel we should all treat each other.

never mind the bezel allignment......what about the gap between the clasp and bracelet....and the chrono pushers that dont screw down.....and screws in the bracelet instead of pins.......theis is an awesome looking rep but has more flaws than i thought it would have. i tried to swap a (pin) bracelet from another SMP i have but the endlinks are completely different due to the thicker case and wont fit the other pin bracelet which is of much higher quality.......my 2 cents.

size needed is 22/18mm. i got a really good one from sirtoli. black gator white stich or black stich for more subtle look is awesome! even if you want to save some $$$ use the standard black rep strap (not the brown) rub the hell out of it with mink oil several coats and it will develop the smooth supple waxy feel and look of genuine alligator. close as you can get.

nice pics! the whole watch looks even better in person especially the gold! has that high quality genuine feel many reps lack.......i'll miss that one! she's got a great new home

looks useless without the guts......i wouldn't bother.

i never liked ebel untill i saw these! you bastard! i hope they rep these.....i love the stiching on the strap. would look killer in PVD!

mine will be here in a few days....i have many gen omegas to compare to. i'll let you know.

edit....double post.

tourneau in vegas.....the rolex display is like walmart at christmas! rolexes in there are going faster than that dam tickle me elmo! craziest thing you will ever see. i spend hours in there every time i go. i never can leave empty handed! the whole top floor was used watches last time i was there. they had hundreds of them......hundreds!

great!
